The 1988 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) provides state-specific health data. This allows tailored public health planning and trend monitoring for chronic diseases.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is a key tool for monitoring population health.
  • State-specific data are crucial for effective local public health program planning.
  • National health objectives require localized data for accurate assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present state-specific prevalence estimates of health-risk behaviors in 1988.
  • To report on the delivery of clinical preventive services based on 1988 BRFSS data.
  • To highlight the utility of state-specific BRFSS data for public health initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • Data collected through the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) in 1988.
  • Involved 36 participating states and the District of Columbia.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis focused on state-level estimates of health behaviors and preventive service delivery.

    • Main Results:

    • Provided state-specific prevalence estimates for various health-risk behaviors.
    • Detailed the delivery rates of clinical preventive services across participating states.
    • Demonstrated significant state-to-state variability in health behaviors and service utilization.

    Conclusions:

    • State-specific BRFSS data are essential for targeted public health interventions.
    • Continued use of BRFSS data will aid in tracking chronic disease risk factors.
    • These data are vital for evaluating progress toward national health goals, such as Year 2000 objectives.
